You sound like an arrogant ass to me. You are so self-important that because you can’t wait until you get home to check your email you take advantage of a local Apple Store to leech their internet (which is really there for customers looking to spend money, which you aren’t). You use it for your own email checking, and posting to your personal blog. You ignore the employees there and don’t even look at them while dismissing them as you walk past.

If I saw you do that to somebody I would call the cops too, just to spite your ignorant, elitist attitude. I am glad you got profiled. Hope it happens again. Do the world a favor, and don’t buy Apple products. I think most apple users would rather see you use a blackberry, because we feel a certain level of pride about the fact that for the most part, we aren’t assholes.

Oh, you’re title page says you’re an unemployed blogger. Now it all makes sense.

Hey Junior, get a job. You have too much attitude and too much time on your hands. And, you know what they say about idle hands…

Salaam Yusuf,

Sorry to hear about your harrassment. I hope that the authorities are able to learn from their mistakes and gut reactions that are triggered off by people with a grudge.

I will reccomend people to avoid the apple brand and look to use their blackberries instead of that horrible little unfriendly iphone that they are regretting spending their money on. All in the name of harrassment. What a pity iphone will lose money due to some silly employees.

Amad, do you mean an (0800) number? (That’s a UK freephone number, by the way.)

why don’t you buy yourself your own computer…that would eliminate you having to use someone elses machines…considering what has happened in the UK, whoever reported you was totally justified.

If you weren’t doing anything wrong, then you shouldn’t be upset about being questioned.

Thanks for sharing Yusuf. Underlines the criminalisation of all things Islamic that has happened in the last few years, and that this is not an issue of race either.

I would suggest that you consider the possibility that your very minor inconvenience is due to the fact that the majority of nutcases who’ve commited acts of terrorism in the UK have claimed, frequently and at the top of their lungs, that they were doing so in the name of Islam. That would tend to cast a pall of suspicion over Muslims, would it not?

Now, if Muslims were at the forefront of efforts to find and apprehend the next Mohammed Atta, we might feel a bit better about having you for neighbors.
